The representatives of the leading Jewish organizations of the United States, Great Britain, and France met today in the first of a series of sessions to hammer out a joint program of Jewish demands to be presented to the Peace Conference for inclusion in the peace treaties.
Present at the session were delegates of the American Jewish Conference, American Jewish Committee, World Jewish Congress, Board of Deputies of British Jews, Anglo-Jewish Association, Central Representation of the Jews of France, Alliance Israelite and Agudas Israel.
The delegates have decided to work out the texts of their demands jointly and to present them in a body. Although the joint texts have not yet been drafted, it is apparent that the delegates are pleased with the progress they have made. Observers here believe that the coalition faces its greatest test over the problem of whether to ask “group rights” for the Jews of Rumania, Hungary, and Bulgaria.
